Walkthrough

You begin the game in Lou Sang village. Speak to Zhang Shi Ping near the bridge to receive 200 gold coins and
1000 rations. You'll also find two generals Song Ren and Song Yong who will join
you. They aren't very powerful, but they're better than nothing. Be sure to equip the weapons you have before heading out.

Leave the village and head west to Xu Zhou. Speak to Tao Qian in the palace
and he will promise to make you his heir if you defeat the Yellow Scarves. In one of the houses you'll find Mi Zhe,
who will make a good starting tactician.

Go south from Xu Zhou to Tie Men Xia Fortress to defeat Zhang Jao, the leader of the Yellow Scarves.

Fight Han Zhong in a random battle somewhere in the area and convert him to your side.

Enter the cave behind Qing Zhou Castle and talk to the soldier there with Han Zhong in the lead. A bridge will
be created allowing you to cross the water.

Attack the three Zhangs at the end of the cave to defeat the Yellow Scarves for good. Alternately, you can skip Han Zhong and the cave and attack
Qing Zhou directly, though you'll have to fight Cheng Yuan Zhi and Zheng Mao
in addition to the three Zhang brothers which will make it a more difficult battle.

Return to Tao Qian in Xu Zhou and Liu Bei
will become the ruler of Xu Zhou. He will leave your party and you will be joined by Liu Feng, his adopted son, instead.

Defeat Han Xian at Chen Cang to the north and get a letter from Xu Yuan Zhi.

Speak to Shui Jing in a house southeast of Chen Cang and he will tell you about Fu Long and Feng Chu.

North of Chen Cang near Nan Yang you'll find a cave. The cave is optional, but you'll find several new
weapons and other treasures inside.

Attack Yuan Shu at Nan Yang Castle and destroy his army. If you attack from
the west, you'll be able to do more damage to Yuan Shu's army. When he demands that you let him go, refuse
three times and he will be executed.

When you cross the bridge north of Nan Yan, Yuan Shao will attack you with a strong army. If you converted
Lu Bu to your side with the Gemsword earlier, he will defect. After attacking you for one round, Yuan Shao
will withdraw.

Return to Gui Yang and speak to Liu Bei in the palace with
Xu Zhe in your party. He will receive a letter from his mother and leave your party. As you leave the castle,
he will tell you about Zhu Ge Liang.

Cross the bridge west of Nan Yang and follow the path south to Zhu Ge Liang's house. His brother will tell you that he went to Lou Sang village.

Go to Lou Sang (the village where you started the game) and speak to Cui Zhou Ping. He will tell you that Zhu Ge Liang
has left.

Return to his house again and his brother will tell you that he left again.

Go to Nan Yang and invite Liu Bei to the palace. He will tell you that Zhu Ge Liang's brother left a message that his
brother was back.

Return to Zhu Ge Liang's house to find him sleeping. Do not wake him up and wait for a few seconds. Zhu Ge Liang will wake up and tell you to meet
him at Gui Yang Castle.

Go to Giu Yang and speak to Zhu Ge Liang in the palace. He will tell you
about the trouble in Shu and will join your party.

Go north and defeat the rebel leader at Fu Shui Castle. Enter the palace and press against the door several times to open
it and free Liu Zheng. You may need to try stronger members of your party to open the door.

Speak to the blacksmith east of Fu Shui and he will ask you for some Iron from Mt. Gang Tai.

Go north from Fu Shui to Luo Castle and defeat Ma Chao, the last of the five tigers.
He will ask to join your party at the end of the battle.

In Luo, you will hear that Liu Zheng has betrayed Liu Bei and joined Han Zhong's
army.

Enter Mt Gang Tai to the south and find the Iron Ore in one of the chests there. Give
it to the swordsmith east of Fu Shui.

Pass through Mt Gang Tai and defeat Li Yan at Main Zhu Guan fortress on the other
side.
